I hope it had nothing to do with the political aspects of the lockdown. By the by the way, the closing of bars IS constitutional. A state can regulate business, certainly for what it perceives to be public health reasons.

Anyhow, His Honor displayed little knowledge of the law when he said “If someone hits another person with a car, that’s an offense right there” That is false.

Hitting someone with a car is only a crime if it is deliberate or by gross negligence. Apparently the Grand Jury believed it was neither. The very reason that we have Grand Juries to prevent political prosecution.

And the jury can determine the law is wrong.

The State of New York lost any right to lock down any business in the state when New York governor 'Nursing Home Killer' (NHK) Cuomo marched with rioters in violation of his own COVID-19 diktats.
